Thanks for the great video and answered a bunch of questions. Here in Thailand, we won't see this until Oct and the estimated price is in the neighborhood of $45k USD.
Hey Marty- great video and thanks for sharing. I’ve got a red/cast wheels on order, patiently waiting since December… but I am seeking your knowledge & feedback for a friend. He has 9k miles on his Multi V4S and is ready to trade it in given the terrible vibrations he’s getting on highways at speeds of 70-80mph and 6500-7500rpm. Have you seen/heard this from any other customers, and might this be a sole issue with his bike vs the whole model lineup? Would appreciate your feedback given your bike and its performance you find at similar speeds/RPMs. (Also noting there is a similar situation with a frustrated UK owner with same vibration issues)
There is an official lowering kit from Ducati now on the website (listed as an accessory). My local dealer says they are on backorder and should take around 10 hours of labor to install. The kit consists of front and rear springs as well as a shorter side stand. Not sure how bad it affects the center stand as it is not part of the kit.
Great review. I currently have the 2018 1260S. I love it, but.... I hate the vibrations. Are the vibrations substantially lower on this? If they are, I will switch.
Hi, sorry for commenting an older video, was there any 2021 Multistrada v4S model that did NOT come with the panniers? I’m unsure if the dealer im looking to buy a used one from simply didn’t get them from the buyer or if there was a legitimate v4s model without them. Thank you in advance!
Finally, I've been waiting for the multi. Really looks great in person, I was impressed. I wonder if they will make a 950s equivalent for it in the next year.
I’m actually looking at a bike like this I test drove the GS1250 2021 bmw what’s better in all honesty ? The only thing I don’t like about this multistrada v4 it’s the single swing arm I wanna test drive it
It's all a personal preference. You should get with your local dealer to test the options. Your hight does not directly dictate what seat / seat position you should use. Its all about rider preference.
Always check with your local authorities and country you live in to make sure you are not violating any laws when on the road but we certainly have the full exhaust in stock for purchase -> amsducati.com/multistrada-v4-v4s-akrapovic-racing-exhaust
I live in CA and my Ducati dealership let me run a full system with warranty. I’ve never gotten pulled over for any of my bike’s exhausts and I’ve put full systems on all of them. I bet you’d be fine.
@@shredcity7217 for the V4 my dealership here in MAS said this system is not allowed for road use and need to sign an undertaking, thats its being set up for track…… I ordered a QD exhaust which is the only after mkt one available for this model as of now.
I had to get the Grey cause thats all they had! I really wanted this bike and kinda needed it sooner than later for a group ride. The grey blends in w/ the road so much i feel like im hiding, which is good for running from the cops, but not so great standing out on the fly like my Pen being bright. At least the lights are very eye catching. His name is Q... like a Q car, its a Q bike in grey. Deceivingly fast. If i could have picked id have gone w/ the Sport livery thats sick.
@@Arcrobes Ride Apart and some other sites have spy photos of the PP V4 with 17" front wheel, single sided swingarm and Ohlins forks, so it should be available next year
I have two questions 1. Would you happen to know what’s new in the upcoming new model MS (in 2022)? And 2. How much lesser (10-15%) should I pay for a demo bike with 500km (300 miles) on it? I’m based in Hong Kong and am trying to decide if I should get one now or wait. Any advice would be helpful.
Supply is short. Demand is high. If there is a bike local to you that you like, we recommend picking it up as that dealer may not see more for a very long time.
@@AMSDucatiDallas thanks for that. Just picked up their last multistrada V4s. It was their demo - media bike, so it can fully loaded and only 250 miles on its clock.
full system takes fuel consumption through the roof, remapping for fuel loses the performance the exhaust gives, so if you pay £5.50 for my US friends that’s $8. Per gallon then fuel consumption is of note. Just buy the end can and you get a little lift, nice looks and fuel economy
I traded my 20 V4S Pen for the same V4S but Multi. All my friends have an adv bike so i had to keep up. They all have BMW's and Africa Twins so IM the fastest still!! Muahaha and it is indeed fast. I only picked it cause i saw a dude RIPPING it up at the track on one. I was stunned. After riding this i could indeed take it to the track. LOL its stupid. Much cooler than my pen, i destroy everything on this flying sofa.
Come on. This a bunch of salesman Blablabla. Just do technical. Riders will form their own opinions. The 2013-14 bikes were the true best models of the Multistrada line. Faster revving engine, lighter weight, shorter wheelbase for corner carving and they have the Skyhook dynamic suspension system with stability control. Who needs 170 hp? Really. 150 scares you just fine. The DVT engines were good in the 1260 but the bike lost its canyon carving rating with a 62” wheelbase for touring.
While we appreciate your comment Michael, we have to respectfully disagree with you that this is a bunch of 'blah blah'. This is a passionate owner, rider and salesman giving his honest thoughts on a bike and giving his customers feedback on said bike to a larger audience. Look around YT and you will see plenty of technical videos on the Multi V4 but nothing that is a honest breakdown of the bike like what Marty provides. 👍
I purchased the Sport, what a motorcycle! Your video helped me decide to purchase this bike. Thank You a lot.
Good choice!
Thanks for the great video and answered a bunch of questions. Here in Thailand, we won't see this until Oct and the estimated price is in the neighborhood of $45k USD.
thanks for a comprehensive chat on the bike - appreciate it
Our pleasure!
I don't get it. Where did the bike break down?
Waiting on my Sport Full since end of December. Hopefully it comes in the next week or so.
What does the full stand for?
same here, waiting since last fall. My dealer keeps telling me the dates are getting pushed. It was mid May, still not here.
Love this bike. Wish I had no limit in budget to go all out on this bike.
It really is PEAK Multistrada. If you could only have one bike to do everything, this is it.
Would be great to hear the full system, I’ve ordered it for my full sport Multistrada

Little regretted
about seat high and sitting position not show on this video but definitely a great breakdown!
If Marty can ride it with his height, anyone can ride it =)

Did they stop making the sport? I can’t find it on the site. Our local dealer has one it’s beautiful just wondering if it’s an older model year.
Great review. I currently have the 2018 1260S. I love it, but.... I hate the vibrations. Are the vibrations substantially lower on this? If they are, I will switch.
Awesome review and very informative 👍🏽 I will be in Dallas next month, I will make over to visit your dealership.
Please do!

Thanks for the "review" Marty. I'll have to get Carlos to do some of these. See you in June! Dw

The V4 has a dual swing arm.
GREAT review buddy, I’m waiting on mine with everything on it.......
Thanks it’s very informative. May i know the ideal seat setting for 5’7” height on this multistrada V4S
It's all a personal preference. You should get with your local dealer to test the options. Your hight does not directly dictate what seat / seat position you should use. Its all about rider preference.
I’ve been waiting for this video
Hopefully we did not disappoint!
For the color, do you prefer standard red or sport livery?
SPORT! 😻
Hi,
Is the full system availabe for normal road use and how much is the cost…..

@@nareshrao2455 yeah. Some have you sign that, just to protect them. But they’ll still honor the warranty and stuff. Which is what’s important to me.
@@shredcity7217 for now i guess will wait for the QD slip on and see how it does , then maybe only change the manifold and keep the QD exhaust lter
I had to get the Grey cause thats all they had! I really wanted this bike and kinda needed it sooner than later for a group ride.

silly question, where are the front turn indicators ? on the mirror?
integrated into the fairings on the front facing vertical edge of each side 👍
@@AMSDucatiDallas amazing! was wondering as i have yet to see them in action haha
Will there be a pikes peak version with a 17” front wheel?
We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a Multistrada V4S Pikes Peak. 😘
@@AMSDucatiDallas looking forward to the video👍🏻
@@Arcrobes Ride Apart and some other sites have spy photos of the PP V4 with 17" front wheel, single sided swingarm and Ohlins forks, so it should be available next year
@@JJAhern Oh sweet! Glad they are doing that one with the single sided swing arm! Thanks for the heads up
Do you think the “bags” can fit a helmet? Thanks, and thanks for the video. 🤙🏻
Yes. The left pannier can hold my full face helmet (medium size).
@@hoodooguru5217 thanks for the reply. I’ll have to check and see if my large will fit too then!
We have easily fit a large Xlite carbon modular helmet in but something like a XXL Shoei probably would have trouble.
@@AMSDucatiDallas awesome. That’s plenty big. Thanks for the info.
Good video, thank You. Lots of information.
Glad it was helpful!
Has the radar been approved in usa yet?
It is on all our bikes 👍
What did the full exhaust do to the fuel consumption?
Guess I should have waited till the end of the video. Thanks for answering that question.
Great video Mate! HEY, i like your hoodie. Do you sell it?
Absolutely! -> amsducati.com/ducati-reflex-attitude-sweatshirt

Any job vacancy
Give us a call. We are always looking for good people to join the team!
Wonder what the Evo race map cost?
I put the mid pipe and Akro slip on already.

cooler in temp...not cooler in cool. Haha had to preference that.
Not recommended speed the reason I'm buying Ducati
Def. Not an off road bike the front is way too soft
I don’t like the tank and the gigantic headlights.
Clearly Multistrada V4S is best, ask anyone, every one knows...
